Talk back is off but device is talking to me - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

I just messed around with a bunch of settings and talk back under accessibility is not on but if I open up the browser it will say page loaded

Nevermind I figured it out under accessibility I had greenify turned on thinking it would help the app kill background processes but it still makes talk back talk when apps are being closed or browsers are being opened or pages are being loaded so I turned it off

Did you check all the settings in accessibility?

Greenify is an app which hibernates user apps so the cpu is able to get into deepsleep. What RussellEstrige25 meant, was that you have to make sure that no app is enabled under accessibility because that might cause the talkback issue. Greenify was just an example

TouchWiz is talking back

I am seeing something weird happening on my GN2 and cannot find how to stop it. The TouchWiz is talking back in some places. For example if I click on a folder I get "The folder is open" and if I close the folder I get "The folder is closed". If I open editing page to adjust the order of home screens I get "Home screen editing page is open" and when I close it I get "screen 4 of 8". Very annoying.
I tried everything, Sound settings, Accessibility settings, went down all settings one by one. Cannot find it.
Does anyone know where to go to turn it off?
Thanks

Do you have Light Flow or Light Manager or some other notification LED managing apps?
But it should be in accessibility settings btw.
Nop, no light flow or any other led apps. And nothing that I found in accessibility is disabling that voice

Is there no TalkBack option in your accessibility settings?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I don't know when or how, but I once accidentally turned on car mode.
system settings -> accessibility -> text to speech -> driving mode.
I could swear there is some sort of setting for blind people. Maybe that's it?

There is but it is disabled. I went through all options of TalkBack and none of them affected this. TalkBack is turned off right now but I still get the same response.

Never had Light Flow installed.
Maybe clear data and cache on Talkback, S Voice or what ever "talking" apps you have. That would reset them as if they have never been used.

why does the phone wake up so much?

I've noticed that the phone wakes up a lot during the day and it's starting to affect better life. is there a way to check what wakes up the phone?

Are you running stock? Rom? Do you have any app notifications set to "wake" the phone. Also, try ES Task Manager and see what is running when the phone wakes up.

I am stock deodexed lk8 rooted. all notifications should wake the phone (waking is when the software starts processing, not necessarily when the screen turns on)

It shouldn't...unless you allow lots of stuff to run in the background. What is issuing partial wakelocks on your device? Things like Sprint Connections Optimizer, and network-based location will bleed you dry in useless partial wakelocks.
Even leaving data sync-age on, wifi on, GPS on shouldn't unless you're phone is constantly getting email/text notification pings.

Scroll lag :(

I have a really annoying problem when I scroll in settings menu or in applications in setting or scrolling in facebook or this forum too I feel something like a lag glitch scrolling is not smooth scrolling. My dad has a note 2 also and doesnt have this lag I dont know why or whats wrong with my phone. Any one has same problem or knows how to solve it.

Do you have power save on?
No
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yes. I get that a lot with mine. Just scrolling the settings menu is a bit stuttery. Other things can be more so.
Not sure what's doing it and I don't remember it being that way when I first got the phone. Going to do a clean install of my Omega ROM to see if it helps.
Did you add a lot of media to your device making your internal storage go down a lot?
ex: shows, movies, music, etc
No

Record a video of your lag so we can see if it's indeed lag or you're being too picky
Use Seeder from play store and report back. You must be rooted
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Seeder wont fix your problem. Chrisssss had the right idea. Start over from a clean install or if you have a back up nandroid from when yoi didn't have the problem.

I think this is completely normal for the Note 2 by default. It lags for a fraction of a second when scrolling too fast both on stock and custom Roms based on stock, I even tried overclocking and its still there, I'm using the omega v11 on Perseus kernel 32. I think the solution would be to enable Scroll Cache. There's a mod available somewhere here just search for.it. And if you want to completely eliminate this problem go for a CM based android Rom.

On twitter it is ok but facebook and xda forum has this lag and I notice it more in xda than facebook. Anyone has the scrolling lag here too?
Another note, when checking the notification panel when u slide down there happens a scroll in the selecting options on top it is smooth alright but try this open music player and make a song play or on pause doesnt matter scroll down ur finger to get notification panel u will find a scroll lag in the selecting options the wifi gps etc, when it moves to the right there is a slight lag with music player appearing in notification panel

Go to developer options under settings and enable force gpu rendering. The smoothness is noticeable after enabling that

Browser problem

In the browser like when I load webpages like the tablet would keep saying loading page and page loaded and I don't know how to turn it off. The only way for me to not hear it is by turning the volume all the way down but I don't want to do that
That sounds like you have talkback enabled in the accessibility settings

Location

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps
I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

i was going to ask if you are using tasker- automate is a lot like it.....but it seems you have eliminated that possibiltiy

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.
